The U.S. government should block the import of low-cost Chinese autos and parts from Mexico, a U.S. manufacturing advocacy group said on Friday, warning they could threaten the viability of American car companies.

So, it’s vital that we allow US car manufacturers to continue selling us exorbitantly priced cars, loaded with software subscriptions and spyware, unchecked? OK, got it, we’re on it y’all!
Until they stop charging $100,000 for a 1 ton truck or $30,000 for an entry level car they can fuck right off.
If you only support the free market when it works for you, you don’t support free markets, you’re just a bad weather socialist.
Online socialists and fatalistic absolutism, name a more iconic duo.
“We need to convert all cars to electric ASAP to save the planet!”
“-Wait, not like that!”Seriously though, when I visited China recently, I was blown away by how many cool cars are there. In the US we have like 3 companies that own the entire market of similar vehicles.
Once business stop competing they also stop innovating.
Tip: stop only producing big ass models that have high margins. It’s like the only thing they learned from the great recession was that they would be bailed out by the government. People do not want to spend $50k on a car.
I’ll support this only if the us automakers promise not to export their oversized and poorly built emotional support vehicles. Because the US automakers by their own admission would only be able to survive because of US government support and, I don’t want to have wanky yank tank’s converting more children to homogeneous paste in my country.
why is it my fault that you suck at making cars bitch
USA: Big fan of free markets until communists enter the ring.
“Communists”
Chinas economy is closer to a single party than communist. Their economy, while heavily steered by that single party and the government shares in ownership of production (socialism), is likely more capitalist than the US. If you can make it faster or cheaper then go for it. They don’t enforce IP rights that hand monopolies to big companies. There are not laws that lock in outdated business models via cronyism.
In the US, corporations control the government. In China, the government controls corporations.
Where are the communists?
They’re all “LeT tHe MaRkEt DeCiDe” when they’re part of the cartel that keeps prices high, then cry like babies when actually asked to compete.
